I have to let you all know that I was on topomax for quite a while, and for the first time in my life I felt like I fit in ! It was the only medication that I was on that did not make me feel like my mind was racing, and I actually felt "like a normal person" whatever that is !
But something went wrong--and of course it's never the Dr's fault (I should know being a former nurse)I rapidly started losing weight and not in a good way! To this day I am still confused as to the dosage I was taking, but I was down to a skelton, and I will be the first to admit it. It was the only medication that kept me from migraine's and that's a miracle. But I want to make a long story short, my father passed away recently and I had been off topomax for over a year. I just did go back to topomax by myself as it is the only medication that keeps me in a normal realm !!!! I have done this on my own slowly but I do not remember how much to gradually go up to ? I want to say about
300mg to stabilize. My Psych had me on klonopin 2mg 4x a day-- remerom-resperidal-lamital-trazadone-----Is it any wonder why I am playing Dr now !!!! My body got soooo strung out !!!!
You would of thought I would of been a walking zombie, but oh no-- not my boby chemistry !!!
Help me out friends! Oh and btw headachelady I hope you are the one who is the dog trainer. I just got a 12 wk old male yellow lab (it keeps me alive) any tips? He is the only thing that that brings a smile to my face.
